The year is 1917. New London strains under its swollen population as the Captain's life ebbs away. The Generator coughs and rasps, its coal heart seizing. Beyond the city walls, a ragged band of wanderers shelters within the rusted carcass of an oil-fired Dreadnought, waiting out the approach of a Whiteout. Scout teams unearth the train's preserved fuel reserves. As the city's engineers wrench the Generator onto an oil diet, factions crystallize within the newly formed Council, each grasping for power. A palpable tension thickens the frozen air, shadowed by the specter of civil war.
